The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

At her command, the electronic ice blade hand spun rapidly in a ballet-like motion, instantly moving to the opposite side and slashing at the maze with the blade of the ice skate.

We won't let you succeed!

Mi gestured to Gong beside him, who nodded and quickly pressed the button to cover the card.

"Activate the Trap Card 'Counter Gate' to negate the opponent's monster's direct attack!"

Clang——! !

The electronic ice blade hand's attack landed instantly on a door that had suddenly appeared.

"Then, because of the effect of [Counter Gate], I draw another card from my deck. If it is a monster, I can summon it in attack position."

[Miyataka Cards: 1→2]

After glancing at his hand, Gong shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity, they're not monster cards..."

Asuka frowned slightly. "You even considered the possibility that your partner might not have any monsters on the field?! As expected of the Labyrinth Brothers, you coordinate really well."

Then she inserted a card into the Duel Disk: "Then I'll set one card face down, end of turn."

[Tenjoin Asuka Hand Card: 4→3]

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Mystery Cards: 6 → 7]

After drawing a card, Mi first inserted a card into the Duel Disk, then activated the Spell Card "Monster Resurrection" to summon "Landmine Spider" from the Graveyard.

After a flash of light, the giant spider reappeared on the field.

[Landmine Spider: Attack Power 2200]

[Mystery Cards: 7 → 6]

Upon seeing the monster revive, Asuka said, "At this moment, since the number of monsters on the opponent's field has become three, the effect of [Cyber ​​Ice Blade] has changed to 'negate the effects of cards activated by the opponent,' and its attack power has been restored to its original state."

[Electronic Ice Blade Hand: Attack Power 4200 → 2100]

"In this way, I can't use magic cards, which is indeed a very powerful effect. But I've also lost my powerful attack power, making it much easier to destroy it."

After Mi finished speaking, Asuka nodded and continued, "Of course we've considered that, so I'll activate the trap card, [Taunt]."

"During your opponent's Main Phase 1, select one of your monsters. Your opponent must attack the selected monster this turn."

She then pointed to the figure diagonally above her, "Of course, I chose the [Elemental Hero Phoenix]!"

At this moment, Jaden chuckled and said, "At the same time, the Phoenix Man's special effect is that this monster cannot be destroyed in battle."

“What?!”

The maze brothers were immediately stunned.

While sealing the opponent's effect, it also prevented Jaden and his team's monsters from being destroyed in battle, effectively achieving invincibility and resistance. It's surprising that someone else could coordinate the effects so well.

"Our opponent doesn't seem as simple as we thought, brother."

"It seems so."

The two of them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"But there are still ways to deal with it..."

As he spoke, Mi revealed another magic card.

"At the cost of sacrificing my [Landmine Spider] on the field, I activate the Spell Card [Sacrifice Doll]."

"Since we have one less monster on the field, [Cyber ​​Ice Blade] will temporarily lose its sealing effect."

"Therefore, the effect of [Sacrifice Doll] will not be negated, and this effect will be used to Special Summon [Water Demon God - Ska], which is also a Level 7 card in my hand."

A tuft of hair sprouts from the illustration on the magic card and binds the giant spider.

boom--!

After the landmine spider was smashed again, a blue monster with only legs and the character for "water" drawn on its head appeared.

[Water Demon God - Saga: Attack Power 2500]

[Mystery Cards: 6 → 4]

"This isn't over yet; this time, we'll need your help."

"It's alright, brother."

After obtaining his brother's permission, Mi placed another card from his hand onto the duel disk, "offering [Emperor Seahorse] as a tribute..."

Gong continued his brother's words, "The effect of [Emperor Seahorse] is that when a Light attribute monster is summoned, this monster can be counted as two tributes."

The fan shouted, "Summon [Thunder Demon God - Sanga]!"

Emperor Seahorse vanished from the field, followed by a bolt of lightning that brought forth a lightning monster with the character 'thunder' written on its body, consisting only of its upper body.

【Thunder Demon God - Sanga: Attack Power 2600】

[Mystery Cards: 4 → 3]

Thus, the three demon gods, Lei, Feng, and Shui, have all gathered in the Brotherhood Labyrinth.

Then, Misty pointed in the direction of the opposing Jaden and shouted, "Go! [Thunder God - Sanga], attack [Elemental HERO Phoenix]!"

Sangja instantly released a bolt of electricity, which struck the Phoenix Man.

boom--!

The instant the electric current struck the Phoenix Man caused an explosion.

"Although the Phoenix people cannot be destroyed in battle, you will still suffer more than half of the damage."

[Judai Yuki & Asuka Tenjouin: LP 8000 → 7500]

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Perfect Cooperation

After attacking once, the monster stopped attacking. "Skaar, which was Special Summoned by the effect of [Sacrifice Doll], cannot attack, so I set another card face down and end my turn."

[Mystery Cards: 3 → 2]

He glanced at the eleven-star monster card in his hand, thought for a moment, and decided not to use it to tamper with his teammates.

"Okay, it's finally my turn!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 4]

After confirming his hand, Judai placed it in his left hand and then revealed another card without hesitation.

"I draw the Spell Card 'Cross Attack' from my hand!"

Target two face-up monsters with the same ATK that you control in Attack Position. This turn, one of the targeted monsters can attack your opponent directly. The other monster cannot attack.

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 4 → 3]

"Asuka and I both have [Elemental HERO Phoenix] and [Cyber ​​Ice Blade] on our field with the same ATK, so Phoenix can launch a direct attack this turn."

The Maze Brothers were immediately startled. "What?!"

While the two were still in shock, Jaden waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Phoenix Man, attack Labyrinth Brother directly! Phoenix Attack!"

At his command, the phoenix-man charged forward, swinging the claw on his right wrist at Mi's body.

"Uhhhhh-!"

[Maze Brothers: LP8000→5900]

Fan: "Damn it!"

Gong: "Pretty capable..."

Judai smiled smugly, "Hey, our tactics aren't limited to just this..."

With that, he revealed his second spell card, "Next, I will activate the Continuous Spell [Emperor's Arena] from my hand."

As long as you have a monster on your field, your opponent cannot allow a monster that needs to be transformed into more monsters to appear on their field.

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

Asuka's lips curled up slightly. "Well done, Judai. This way, they won't be able to summon monsters anymore."

Maze Brothers: You guys are too babyish!

The two brothers felt that their opponents were really too difficult to deal with, because the teamwork between the Jadens was just as good as that between the two brothers.

"It's not over yet. I'll summon [Card Defender] in defense position now."

As Jaden slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, a burst of golden light flashed across the front field, and a small guard holding a round shield was projected onto the screen.

[Card Defender: Defense 400]

"Finally, cover one more card, and the turn ends."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 0]

After he finished his announcement, Miyako immediately drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Miyataka Cards: 2→3]

Gong looked at his hand with a pained expression; he couldn't summon any monsters, and his spells and traps were sealed.

Three cards of different colors, but not a single one can be used.

There's no other way but to try and remove the seal on the effect first.

He then pointed in Asuka's direction and shouted, "Go! [Wind Demon God - Shuga], attack [Cyber ​​Ice Blade Hand]!"

Shuga immediately stepped forward and created a tornado that shot towards the direction of the Ice Blade Hand, and it looked like it was about to hit.

However, at that moment, Jaden hurriedly shouted, "At this instant, the monster effect of [Card Defender] activates!"

"When a monster on your field becomes the target of an attack, you can transfer the attack to it."

"And when this monster becomes the target of an attack, you can send up to three cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard. For each card sent to the graveyard, your DEF increases by 500."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Card Defender flashed in front of the Ice Blade Hand.

At the same time, Judai quickly threw three cards into the graveyard.

"Since three cards were sent to the graveyard, the DEF of [Card Defender] has increased by 1500 points."

[Card Defender: Defense 400 → 1900]

Seeing the attack blocked, Gong clicked his tongue inwardly: "But Shuga's attack power is still higher. Vanish, [Card Defender]!"

boom--!

The card defender was instantly torn to pieces by the storm.

"Cover a card and the turn ends."

[Miyataka Cards: 3→2]

Gong, who had not accomplished anything, looked apologetically to the person beside him, "I'm sorry, elder brother, I haven't been able to do anything."

Mi shook his head and replied, "It's not your fault, the opponent was just too strong."

Asuka ignored the two's back-and-forth and casually picked up a card from her deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Tenjoin Asuka Hand Card: 3→4]

After drawing the card, she threw one card into the graveyard and revealed another card.

"By sacrificing a spell card, I activate [Double Spell] from my hand, and select a spell card from my opponent's graveyard to set on my field."

[Tenjoin Asuka Hand Card: 4→2]

Then she looked at Jaden beside her, who smiled and nodded at her. She continued, "I choose Jaden's graveyard for [Cross Attack] and activate its effect."

"This round, [Electronic Ice Blade Hand] can launch a direct attack."

Upon hearing this, the Maze Brothers looked like they had a toothache.

"Not again!?"
